Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very good experience with everything. Staff were helpful and friendly. The bungalows are large and very unique. Close enough to the city but far enough away to feel safe. Great location next to the jungle and the river walk. The Howler monkeys woke us up early each morning but that was part of the whole experience. Very good food at the onsite restaurant as well. We would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful grounds, walking paths and lots of privacy between each villa. The staff was helpful and kind. Walking along the river in the mornings was a splendid treat and very relaxing. We walked to town, dining and waterfalls for swimming. The food and drinks on site were very good and reasonably priced. Cannot wait to go back!!!

Such a great accommodation! We booked the superior cabin. Very peaceful cabin with a large verandah that looks on into the jungle. Room is is huge and has a fridge and sink. The king bed is comfortable, super clean. Enough room to do my yoga! Great parking. Would highly recommend for a genuine Costa Rican stay.

Loved this place. Room could have been cleaner but overall the property is well kept, has beautiful scenery, and peaceful. Located next to good restaurants and walking around feels safe at night. Staff is great especially Alonzo. Be mindful that since you are immersed in nature there will be a decent number of bugs coming to visit you outside and inside.
